For those Member States which were not members of the Community on 1 July 2006, the reference to that Annex concerns the version applicable on the date of their accession to the Community.

2. The percentage at Member State level is equal to the common percentage multiplied by 1 – [(1/0,6) × the reduction].

When the result is below zero, the applicable percentage is equal to zero.

ANNEX VIIb

1. For the purpose of the calculation set out in point 2, the following definitions shall apply:

(a)“applicable percentage” means the percentage to be established in accordance with point 2 and applicable to the quota allocated to the undertaking concerned;

(b)“common percentage at Member State level” means the percentage calculated for the Member State concerned as:

Qty/Σ [(1 – R/K) × Q]

with

R=renunciation referred to under (c) for a given undertaking,
Q=the quota of the same given undertaking available at the end of February 2010,
K=the figure calculated under (d),

Σ refers to the sum of the product of (1 – R/K) × Q calculated for each undertaking holding a quota in the territory of the Member State; when the product is below zero, it shall be equal to zero;

(c)“renunciation” means the figure obtained by dividing the quantity of quotas renounced by the undertaking concerned by its quota as allocated in accordance with Articles 7 and 11(1) to (3) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 and Article 60(1) to (3) of this Regulation;

(d)“K” is calculated in each Member State by dividing the total reduction of quota in that Member State (voluntary renunciations plus the quantity to be reduced at the level of Member State referred to in point 1(a) of Annex VIIa) by its initial quota as fixed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 in the version applicable on 1 July 2006. For those Member States which were not members of the Community on 1 July 2006, the reference to that Annex concerns the version applicable on the date of their accession to the Community.

For those Member States which were not members of the Community on 1 July 2006, the reference to that Annex concerns the version applicable on the date of their accession to the Community;

(c)“coefficient” means the coefficient established by the Commission in accordance with Article 52(2).

2. For the 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 marketing years, the coefficient at Member State level shall be equal to the coefficient increased by [(1/0,6) × the reduction] × (1 – the coefficient).

When the result is above 1, the applicable coefficient is equal to 1.
